    I really want to try this setup for semiautomatic action but My gun doesn't have that port under the top of the pistol, it just has a port under the butt. Do you think it will change anything if I connect a short piece of tubing to the end of the gun barrel and then connect that Schrader valve (for the automatic action) to it?or the set up must be exactly this way to work?

      @swandonovan 2 роки тому

      Dangerously. This is the most asked question on any of my videos, and I've answered it countless times. But I'll do it again. Working pressure is generally 4x less than burst pressure. At least on high quality devices (Germany, usa, Japan). It's up to you what kind of risk you want to take. The smaller the diameter of the valve, the less force will be acting on it, the more I trust it at multiple times the working pressure.

    Why would you have the main tank connected to the bottom on the qev and rely on a the other (smaller chamber) on the trigger end? Wouldn't it be much easier and more reliable if you switched the smaller chamber and the larger chamber. Then all you would need to do is change the orientation of the 3 way valve (trigger) so that the only 2 states are "qev to atmosphere" which fires the gun with all the air in the small chamber, and "large chamber to qev" which fills the smaller chamber again?

    With the "lower" pressure just create a projectile with a higher BC, freeze it with rifling in the ice progressively build pressure as to not mock up the rifling on the projectile until at least it's most of the way down the barrel. I mean extremely favorable terminal ballistics just due to the rigidity of the material on impact not to mention with the pressure exerted once it gets high enough it would just slip through the barrel. You got my head running.

  • @lecobra418
    @lecobra418 3 роки тому

    Nice, but I guess if the slug didn't make much damage it's because of three things: You barrel is not rifled, the slug you used was made out of steel and it wasn't pointy. That's also why the lighter ball bearing worked better, it's round and light so it goes faster and got less friction. If you had tried to shoot with a lead/copper slug with the shape of an actual bullet, slightly lighter and with a rifled barrel you would probably have went through both the laptop and the wood plank. Good video tho.
